According to a Twitter post by ESPN publicist Josh Krulewitz, baseball analyst Steve Phillips is no longer employed by ESPN. Phillips was involved in a sex scandal with another ESPN employee last week and had announced he was taking a leave of absence.

Krulewtiz's post: "Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN.. His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged , and it became evident it was time to part ways."
